Khalid and Khalifa's mother is called Mariam bint Nasser Al-Suwaidi. Her sister Moza bint Nasser Al-Suwaidi is the mother of Ahmed and Mohammad bin Atiyatallah. <br /><br />Hence Al Khawalid are also known as decedents of "Al-Suwaidi daughters" (Arabic: أولاد بنات السويدي) as Dr Salah al-Bandar called them in one of his posts in Bahrain Online: http://bahrainonline.uk.to/showthread.php?t=175440. Look at post #23 to see an explanation by al-Bander himself: http://bahrainonline.uk.to/showthread.php?t=175440&page=2&p=1342486&viewfull=1#post1342486<br /><br />Al-Bandar gives the name of the first sister as Moneera instead of Mariam, but I think he's wrong. He also calls them decedents of Sultan Al-Suwaidi, instead of Nasser. I don't know if Sultan is the grandfather as I don't have Al-Suwaidi family tree.<br /><br />I'd love to share my source, but I've been strongly instructed not to.

I have recently been researching early 20th century Bahrain and the history of the Khawalid for my dissertation in the India Office Records at the British library so naturally your piece is of great interest to me. Unfortunately I too can't get access to the article through my institution (SOAS). Could you possibly email me a copy too?

Any chance you can e-mail me a copy?<br /><br />Anyway, it is worth mentioning that the king himself is half Khawalid; his mother Hessa (or Hussa) bint Salman bin Ebrahim bin Khalid Al Khalia is the great granddaughter of Khalid bin Ali Al Khalifa, the father of the Khawalids.<br /><br />Essentially Al Khalawid gradually regained their influence after Hamad's father, Isa married Hessa.Mohamed_CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616298596017261035noreply@blogger.com
